Now in its fourth season, this popular series is held one Sunday each month from January to June. Concerts are from noon to 2:00 p.m. in the Rodin Gallery (Gallery 10) and are free of charge after museum admission. The performing ensembles are either affiliates of SFFCM or recipients of grants from the Musical Grant Program, and together they represent the tremendous diversity of musical talent here in the Bay Area.

January, February, and March concerts feature music composed during the reign of Louis XIV, in conjunction with the special exhibition Royal Treasures from the Louvre: Louis XIV to Marie-Antoinette at the Legion of Honor through March 17, 2013. Performers have been asked to create programming that is inspired by the exhibition, thus bringing together the visual and performing arts in a public setting to stimulate the imagination and enhance the experience of visitors at the museum.
